The kind of comment that makes all those dark nights of the soul involved in writing a book - & the long dark nights spent writing the thing -.worth it. Thanks so much @SallyHolding1 @BradtGuides @OuterHebs

@OrkneyLibrary Jamaica inn is set on Bodmin Moor, which is remarkably similar to the interior of Rousay ... moorland, peat, scattered farmsteads and packed with Neolithic bits and bobs. Worth a busman's holiday some time!

'Daphne Du Maurier wrote a novel set in an old coaching inn on Bodmin Moor.' 'Jamaica?' 'No, I think she wanted to write it.'

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's

@BristOliver 20% off the cheese deli? The progressive fightback has already begun.

@Downhill2ndHalf Wondering if Paul showler is another. Scored against Barnet for Bradford in that dismal season after Flashmans house of cards collapsed. He shredded the bees in 1991 when Altrincham won 4-1 but not sure if he scored?

John Akinde scored a very John Akinde goal against us yesterday to become one of a few players who have scored against Barnet both before and after playing for Barnet. See if you can get any yourself…

@BristOliver Good piece, refreshing to find a mathematician who can genuinely write/ communicate well. Gulliver's cucumbers ref means this Eng Lit graduate marks you up a grade boundary. Writing that as a journalist so hope it doesn't come across as patronising.

I've written a feature on food production in the Outer Hebrides & what lessons it offers for sustainable food use on a wider scale @GeographicalMag @BradtGuides @OuterHebs @HebrideanHopsc1 @B_I_W @CalMacFerries

@elgeeko1506 Are you in Uist end of June/ early July?

@wanderingrowe @BradtGuides @orkneycom Fantastic! Hope you are well 😊

Five star reviews all the way for my new edition of the Bradt guide to Orkney, and with lovely comments that genuinely make the whole project worthwhile. Thanks to all of you who have bought it. @BradtGuides @orkneycom #Scotland #Travel

@featherytravels @ecology_digest @jendiberjones @bumble_being @StevenFalk1 @GrahamSmithEnto Thank you Richard that's very kind of you to say. Almost restores my faith in twitter!

@ecology_digest @jendiberjones @bumble_being @StevenFalk1 @GrahamSmithEnto @wanderingrowe Thank you Richard.

We’re going to Uist this month! Aaaaah! 🐝🐛🌸 Any tips, places we must visit, advice on how to cope if I see Great Yellow BB 🤞😭, would be much appreciated!

Seven seconds of Luskentyre, looking across towards the Hushinish road #IsleofHarris I'm researching the 3rd edition of my guidebook to the #OuterHebrides & the weather is being incredibly cooperative! @OuterHebs @BradtGuides

@hedgehoghugh @GeographicalMag @chiffchat We've got a Lab too, though TBH he'd only pay his way on Orkney when sausages get declared an invasive species.

@wanderingrowe @GeographicalMag @chiffchat oh - and when in Orkney - get to meet Spud - quite the most handsome of labradors!

Thank you so much to @GeographicalMag and @wanderingrowe for such a generous review. geographical.co.uk/book-reviews/r… - official publication 28th but seems to have escaped into the wild. No cull needed! @chiffchat

@ALCS_UK @Soc_of_Authors @bectu The irony of the guardian running this story! Their own commissioning editors could do with reading it.

Almost 4,000 freelancers surveyed by @bectu - "3/4 are out of work, 35% are struggling to pay household bills and 80% have had their employment directly affected by the US industrial disputes" This is why we're calling for a Freelancer Commissioner. theguardian.com/media/2023/nov…

Halloween on South Uist in 1932... 😱 The island's children made homemade costumes from sheepskins, haystack wigs, sheep ears and even scraped-out skulls! 📸 Canna House Photographic Collection #ForTheLoveOfScotland

A lot of people have said that @tonyhusband1's work could be as poignent & cutting as his others could be witty & fun This is an extremely powerful example As long as you're not some slopbrained, hate-goblin who supports the likes of Farage cause he points at easy targets for you

@HI_Voices I'd welcome any thoughts on this... Why is it Orkney but not Orkadian, if it's Orcadian, why not Orcney?

@HI_Voices community....I'm writing about the Abhainn a’ Lòin in Uig in/on Lewis (near Morsgail). I was once told the river's name translates as 'River of the Pond'. Anyone know why, or what pond it refers to? All rivers begin with a puddle but is there something specific?!

Is THIS the most spectacular location in #Orkney? 🤩 St John's Head in Hoy is the UK's tallest vertical sea cliff and an incredible place for a coastal walk (but always remember, NEVER get too close to the edge 😱). #VisitOrkney #ScotlandIsCalling

@PaulMilesJourno Think that's bad Paul, it's par for the course. I wrote a piece on Northumberland national park and never knew it could evoke so much wild hatred and prejudice. So many people out there just itching to find something to be poisonous about.
